A big congratulations are in order for Fleur East – she's engaged.

The I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star revealed her boyfriend Marcel Badiane-Robin popped the question while on a romantic break in Japan.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, the 'Sax' singer said: "I said yes immediately! How Marcel did everything was just wonderful.

"We're in a really traditional Japanese hotel and there were petals on the bed and champagne... Then I turned around and he was there, with the ring. He said 'Fleur East, will you be my wife?'

"I couldn't believe it. The ring is so beautiful and yellow is my favourite colour."

Fleur added that she is already making plans for her wedding day, saying: "We've been together for so long so we're going to do it ASAP."

She also said on Instagram: "I've literally just landed back in the UK from Japan and I can't believe I can say that I'm engaged to be a WIFE!!

"My boyfriend Marcel proposed to me while we were in Tokyo. What a trip to remember!"

The former X Factor star and Marcel started dating in 2010 when they were both working in a nightclub.

She's mainly kept her relationship with the fashion designer out of the spotlight, though she did say in an interview two years ago she'd be happy to settle down with him.

"We've got no plans to marry at the moment but we'll see how it goes," she said.

"If he asked me I wouldn't say no, definitely not. I'd say yes."
